and with that existential chant [Holi hai = it's holi!], I have begun the day today for nearly all of the past 28 years.
Last year, we were at Santa Monica beach, and yes, I miss the warmth of LA this year :-|.
That said, this year was not bad either, as I just got back to my desk after a brief color-play with my group-mates S (Indian) and A (Russian!). We will be having a more proper celebration with colors and sweets tomorrow afternoon in the lab, and my (French) boss sounds excited :).
And now, the customary Holi video:
and then, a thoughtful one:
And finally, if you are interested, a bunch of songs for the day
Holi hai!!!

ReplyDeleteDid you know that apart from being an iconic bollywood number, Rang Barse is a cinematic event that brought together the talents of 4 of India's Icons!
Sung in Amitabh Bachchan's voice.
Written by Harivanshrai Bachchan.
Music by Shiv-Hari (Pts. Shivkumar Sharma & Hariprasad Chaurasia)
Did you also notice that most Amitabh probably has the most number of Holi songs to his credit?
There're 3 of them in your list that I can see!
You're definitely not missing much... the LA chill this year feels rather unholy. ;-)
ReplyDelete@all: thanks for the comments/wishes.
